Few images from the upcoming update 4.14

So it's just three new planes, all independent models: seaplane, the same on wheels and a ski one. Full pack of original cockpits and weaponry. Ok...

What took you so long?!

** And of course we don't count DnieproGES (aka Dneprostroi Dam)

Now now, have a look around the TD-part of the forum and you'll see that they have a lot more they are working on than just three versions of the MBR-2.

The Russians have such hard design types, no sense of grace, even the il-2's in the back ground screen shot, (in_case you have never seen a il-2 ), the LaGG's, and the Mig's till that one from 42', functional, but almost intentionally devoid of any feminine lines.

They definitely have their own style.

Models look good, are we headed for a summer of "two weeks". Take your time, still have not thought of a good, unique scenario to build on that expected Chanel map. Is it larger than any other map, or about the same as i.e. the Solomons, with a heck of a lot more objects.

Cheers!

Well this is a nice surprise. Looking forward to it!

Hello DT
For me, that's good news. I still fly in this magnificent flight simulator. I will never tire of using it. I have a few friends who are interested in learning to fly this flight simulator. Please, continue with this great project.

Thanks for the update, and the great work. It's always nice to see new toys on the way!

I think that's more design choices by Antonov and his disciples, as well as the tendency for 1930's aircraft designers to create aircraft which look like railroad cars. IMO, the Yak-1 -3, -7, -9, series (first designed 1939, flew 1940) are some of the most graceful-looking aircraft of the period.

Anyhow, I'm just happy for more content, especially because it will feature some of the war's forgotten, unglamorous "ugly ducklings".

Well, Antonov designed just gliders in 1930s and assisted Yakovlev a bit. By the way, it was him who worked on improvements of Yak series in 1943-1945.
He was also known for somewhat controversial remarks about aircraft "beauty". In one of his book he wrote that beautiful airplane flies better. Yet in one of the interviews asked about alleged "ugliness" of one of his transport planes, he responded: "Functional is beautiful".

But back to the topic.
Yes, kudos to TD for making this bird available for flight and sea navigation (what a boat!).
More ugly ducklings the better.

in late version of MBR will be RPK2 ... i mean if set on map 42 ( or more late year) on pilot panel you will have radio navigation gauge ...
